Internet addiction develops through the repeated release of dopamine, which over time can lead to changes in the brain that compromise our ability to focus, prioritize, regulate our mood, and relate to others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of us who have come to identify as internet and technology addicts experienced several common symptoms. We used our devices for longer than we intended, despite attempts to control or cut back our use. Even when we were aware of the consequences and wanted to stop, we were unable to do so. When we weren\u2019t connected to our devices, we experienced distraction, anxiety, and irritability. We were unable to enjoy and be present with our offline lives. We used the internet and technology to alter our moods and escape our problems. Our addiction jeopardized our relationships, educational pursuits, and career opportunities. We felt shame and demoralization about our use of technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we first noticed these troubling experiences, we began to acknowledge that something wasn\u2019t right. But many of us still questioned whether we really had an addiction. For those of us still wondering, the following questions may help us better identify whether there are signs of internet addiction in our own experience.<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\"><strong>Internet Addiction<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>Questionnaire<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do I ever go online to quickly check something and then discover that hours have passed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I ever swear off or set limits around a particular app or online activity, and then break my commitments?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I have internet and technology binges that last all day or late into the night?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I reach for my devices whenever I have free time?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does my internet and technology usage lead me to neglect my personal hygiene, nutritional needs, or physical health?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I feel isolated, emotionally absent, distracted, or anxious when I\u2019m not online?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does my internet usage contribute to conflict or avoidance in personal relationships?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have the negative consequences of my internet usage jeopardized my studies, finances, or career?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I hide or lie about the amount of time I spend online or the kinds of digital content I consume?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I feel guilt or shame around my internet use?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody should have to suffer due to their internet and technology use.
